Hey there, i know how you feel. I havent even had my surgery yet but suffers from severe constipation. My gastrologist had to put me on Linzess for constipation. But if i dont get my water in, i get severely constipated. You literally can feel the stool inside your stomach. But when trying to pass it, sometimes the stool is so hard that it makes me bleed. So through this process, i started taking Probiotics and it helps so much. I realize this maybe TMI, but its part of life. Happy passing Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

If your life is all that then why are you on this site? Ive never ever seen someone on a support group site blast everyone on there for trying to give advice or telling what their experience was. This is just cra cra crazy Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

If you don't want thoughts and opinions, don't post on public forums. I will post where I like, when I like. You posted first, inviting opinion. Exactly why are you posting if you don't want people to support you? Everyone, including myself, have only simply tried to help you. As for the rest of the nastiness you spat in my direction, I shall simply ignore it and put it down to the stress of your pre op diet and upcoming surgery. I know how hard it is to stick to a liquid diet, you must be having an effect on your emotions.

Why is she on thjs site which is very public, asking for advice and when people tried to give it to her, she reaponded very badly. There's people who want to get in this group, but it says full. She can just jump out and allow someone who wants advice to be in this group Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank goodness i didnt respond either. Lord, i hope im not snapping like that when im on the pre surgery diet. Its not like someone said something that was nasty or off the chain Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I hear your whoo's. Ive had chronic constipation for years. I literally went 2 months without a bowel movement . Im on Linzess to now but i also started taking a probiotic and ive been going everyday. They did this test on my bowels 3 yrs ago. Had me eat these eggs that had dye in them but you didnt taste it. You eat them and then they put you under a xray and for 90 minutes those eggs shouldve been down into my intestines, they were still where they started. They said i have a slow intestinal track. So thjs sleeve maybe a good thing for me. But yes, get a great probiotic Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Ive been going through this process since january for the sleeve. I shouldve had a date this month however, when dr g did the upper GI and the xray of my heart he said the he showed some type of shadow around my heart. So last week was my last procedure edg. He looked down my stomach and found polpys. He took 1 off for biospy. Still havent see the last thing. Cardiologist. But tuesday night, i woke up couldnt breath. I looked At my hand and they looked like fat sausages. I turned the lights on and OMG, it looked like something blew my entire body up like a balloon. I didnt know what it was, I called the nurse line to tell her and she sent the paramedics to get me. They took blood and 2 xrays .the dr came back in and ask where was my family. He finally came out and said you have congestive heart failure and its not good. He said thati have so much Fluid that they may have to send me to dialysis to just remove the fluid. I explained to him that im in the last stage of my wls but he said not right or. Has this happened to anyone that anyone?Depression has sat down on me so bad. Does anyone know of anyone that this has actually happened to amd did it turn out right Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

My faith is strong and i feel like this is for a reason. I know god has plans for me and maybe this surgery wasnt in the plans. I was still losing weight whilegoing to the gym so ill just keep doing what ive been doing until he tells me anything else. Thank you and keep the prayers coming. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

They just called me for a ekco tomorrow. I should be ok once they find out why im holding on to all this Fluid. Thanks for all the prayers and love. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much. Im a firm believer in prayer. And i usually pray about things before i get into it. But this 1 i didnt pray about it. I just was so excited that my insurance approved it that i started out the gate running. Ive gotten everything done and the last test shows a heart problem.? I mean, what the hell. But it just shows you that if you dont pray about it with god, those may not be what he has planned for u, and id rather find out now than on the table. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. Im right at the finish line off getting my date and then this happens. But ive taken it as a sign that when you dont go to god first, he'll show you what HE has planned for you. I truly believe that if you dont pray about it and ask god, wls may not be for me. He may wants me tk do it the way i lost the 3olbs. But ill ask him. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Well, u know theyre going to make sure those things are correct beforedoing my sleeve. I know hes going to change from gastric because id have to have alot more time under anesthesia, where as the sleeve doesnt take as long Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I say you lost another good amount of weight, him.....I don't mean to be harsh but you've had to deal with weights, kids, husband, special needs . I have 2 sets of twins and sometimes I wish my husband would leave. But being in the group keeps me sane Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Oh yes, you know i will. Its not the same like my support group in person. Here, nobody cares how you look, you can post a pic and ask does this make me look fat, and we're going to take it as a joke and pass on the comments. But i will let yall know the news.

I hope that your biopsy is normal. They often biopsy areas to see if you have HPylori too so try and relax. Prayers! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App Thank you so much. Its my fault because ive felt this what i thought was a sore throat for about a month and didn't do anything about it. Im just depress because it puts my date back. But my health isnt nothing to play with Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Im so glad i found this site because id be a wreck and i havent even have the surgery yet. Im at 6 months of seeing the nutritionist and they saw something on the upper gi that is needing a biopsy. Im a cancer survivor already so i really hope its nothing like that again but if it is, ill just roll over it again and keep on dealing with it. My faith is strong and my support from you guys are stronger so dont worry if youre losing it slowly. Thats how i hope to lose mine because it seems like when you lose weight to fast you look sickly.

I wouldve been so mad about that. You told her and she told everyone else. Thats why i havent told anyone. Im going to the gym, and thats all they need to know. With the sleeve the weight lost isnt so drastic. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hey tiffany rae, i dont have the status you have but this ride you need plenty of friends and support for this ride. Im 5'7 and i weight 288. I dont have my surgery date as of yet but i actually see the dr on thursday, not his nurse but him bexause i have the last thing to do and that is the edg. That scope is on the 24th. I hope things go good so he can give me my date. At first i wanted the bypass but ive changed my mind and going for the sleeve. Ive been going to the gym now for 2 months so i think thats the healthest way for me to go. Youll do great and youll make alot of new buddies. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Taraisthebest:I havent told anyone. Not even my family because i know once i tell my mom, she'll tell everyone and i dont want to have to answer any questions. My bmi is 42. I weigh 288 and my goal is 145. Thats always been my weight until i found out i had MS and had to start these steroids. Ive had to stop them because they add weight on me so now im in pain because i need to get this weight off so bad. Im not telling anyone because its nobody's business. I started the gym a month ago. I havent gotten my surgery dATE YET but i finally see the dr next week to finally make up my mind. At first i wanted to do the bypass but i think the sleeve is going to be the healthiest for me. All my drs have told me to go for the sleeve because if im keeping to my diet and gym, i will lose the weight the healthiest way. But good luck with you Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I wasnt going to tell anyone either but i ended up telling my mother. I thought she'd be my biggest support but ended up being just the opposite. Telling me what she'd do and i dont need to have the surgery, just keep going to the gym. So no, i wouldnt tell anyone else. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App I'm only telling a few and my mother is not one of them at least yet. Hopefully your mom will come around. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Shes come around alright, only to tell me which surgery i should have. Shed say i wouldnt have the gastric bypass but idk about the sleeve either. Im use to it by now

What, blue cross and blue sheild doesnt cover the surgery? Thays really suprising. Im glad i changed from that surgery Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Call the customer service number to see if they do. Have your primary care dr say that you need it and your insurance will do what shes asked of them. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

My nutritionist wanted me to lose between 15-30lbs before surgery. Ive lost 55lbs. I really dont want to have the surgery but im sure if i keep losing this way, theres no point for surgery. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

How much more do you have on this diet?I know it's hard, I am on week 4 of liquid diet now (2 pre op) and now 2nd post op it's definitely easier post op, but hang in there, it will benefit you during your surgery. Did you say youre on 4 week liquid diet? Why 4 weeks Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Girl, youre right and i feel the same way thats why i told everyone to. I dont care what people say. If theyre not paying my medical bills or buying my clothes then back the hell up. Im glad you have your sister. Good luck on that 10 day fast.....lol Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
